1001 Movies ... my own version (2010's) (100 movies items)" Notes: To be honest, I don’t think that the story was really so original. For example, back in the 90’s, Ang Lee got his breakthough with ‘Xi yan’ which was about a gay Asian guy living in New York who tries to marry some girl just to please his parents still living in Hong Kong. Still, Lulu Wang did direct a beautiful movie and I really enjoyed the sad and nostalgic approach. Indeed, what is at the centre of this tale is not really the lie to the grandmother but how the main character"

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick (it was even included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list), I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I don’t think that the story was really so original. For example, back in the 90’s, Ang Lee got his breakthough with ‘Xi yan’ which was about a gay Asian guy living in New York who tries to marry some girl just to please his parents still living in Hong Kong. Still, Lulu Wang did direct a beautiful movie and I really enjoyed the sad and nostalgic approach. Indeed, what is at the centre of this tale is not really the lie to the grandmother but how the main character is torn apart between two vastly different cultures. As a result, she is in fact seriously disoriented and doesn’t belong” read more

Movies I watched in August 2020 (52 movies items)" Date: 8/14/2020 Viewed: Amazon Prime First viewing Note: I wanted to see this movie when it came out in theaters last year, but I missed the chance to see it. Seeing that it is now on Amazon Prime (As of 8/14/2020), I finally had the chance to watch this movie. After watching this movie for the first time, I loved it. The Farewell is a great drama that is sad, heartfelt, and honest about its themes of life and death. The movie tells a great message about loving your loved ones while you can"
